Perran Sands

site amenities ¦ out and about ¦ how to get there

Our caravan on Perran Sands is situated in a prime location, central to both the entertainment complex and the beach, and within a few minutes walk of each. The beach is a 3 mile stretch of golden sand backed by sand dunes and cliffs. The sea is crystal clear with huge waves which draw surfers from all over the country.

The site is nestled amongst the sand dunes providing hours of exploring for both adults and children alike. There are two adventure playgrounds close by and others positioned around the site.

Swimming Pools
There are heated indoor and outdoor pools, a shallow pool for non-swimmers and a toddler pool. A large spiral slide can be accessed from inside. The outdoor pool has a paved patio area and a wooden deck area, perfect for sunbathing, and is fully enclosed by a fence. Sunloungers are available free of charge, but get there early as its very popular.
